CORNER STONE.
As noticed last week, the laying Of the
corner stone of the Congregational

attendance. The exercises consisted of
hymn, by the choir; prayer, by Rev. J. G..
Elliott; Scripture reading, Rev. j. Q. A.
Weller; instruction by trustees and
building committee to Rev. J. Q. A. Wei
Ter to lay the corner stone; the depositing
of these~ instructions in the stone, to-
gether with list of contributors to the
church building, names of trustees and
building committee, copies of the World
and Buffalo Park Pioneer, and the Holy
Scriptures; sealing of stone by Rev.
Weller, assisted by Mr.. Hawkins, of
Cove county-a member of Buffalo Park
Grand Army Post; Scripture reading,
hymn and benediction. Miss league
presided at the organ, which had been
previously carried to the grounds, and
the choir was kindly assisted by Mr..

W. 7. o.
To the disbursement of storms and
many duties, was added, at the last
hours, the sickness of one of the workers,
and for few moments a postponement
of the first w. G. T. q. entertainment
was considered, but only for few
moments. Then, by the kindness men,
toned elsewhere, the usual western de-

Kansas motto, prevailed, and the follow

The exercises were not given as per-
fectly as the participants would like to
have had them, but only residents of this
land of magnificent distances" can real
ize the difficulties of holding rehearsals
when a distance of two to four miles sep
arates willing workers, and by many the
sentiment was voiced last night that the
evenings success was beyond their ex-.
pectations. The opening instrumental
selection was exceedingly sweet and
nicely rendered. All the soloists did
credit to themselves, while the characters
in the first dialogue and pantomime were
well taken and the acting good. The
telling hits in the Collyer scenes were
proof of good memory, quick concep-
lion and ability of execution, and we're
thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
The magic letters, w. G. T. o., in
white, which so prominently appeared
over the stage, were the work of heeldest
